Good news for Astros fans as MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez references a Fox Sports report that Valverde is closing in on a deal with Detroit, and says Arizona's interest "has waned."
The Web site added, however, that it's not likely that the Tigers met Valverde's asking price -- not even on a one-year deal.
I don't care what number they settle on. The only one that matters to me is #19.
How do you think Valverde's agent feels, knowing he probably cost his client - the same client who hired him to represent his interests - up to $5 million?
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
